10 things you need to know about City Church.
1 - We really like the word “FOR"
This church started from Matthew 5:14, Jeremiah 29:7, and a simple question - “What would it look for a community of people to invest their time, energy, passions, and resources on what they are for instead of what they are against?”
2 - Our mission is to be a Jesus movement that awakens the soul and the city.
Moments lead to movement. We believe that there are souls yet to be awakened the love and message of Jesus, and as more souls are awakened a city becomes fully alive.
3 - 5 - We have 3 Values.
WE ARE FOR JESUS. We believe that the church is built on Jesus, by Jesus, and for Jesus. We believe that if people see Jesus for who He is then they captured by his grace and compelled to devote their life to knowing and following Him.
WE ARE FOR ALL PEOPLE. We are for all people regardless of race, age, gender, or socioeconomic background. People are not projects but precious to God and to us. We value, celebrate, extend grace, care, and invest in all people by fighting for who we are created to be in Jesus.
WE ARE FOR THE CITY. God has placed us strategically in the middle of the beauty and brokenness of the city to make it better and brighter. The city doesn’t exist for the church; the church exists for the city. We believe biblical generosity leads to city growth. We take responsibility for our city by seeking HER peace and prosperity.
6 - We have Distinctives.
We are a non-denominational Christian church. We think less in terms of “denomination” and more about “distinctives.” Probably the two most distinct things that you will experience on a Sunday morning is that we place a high emphasis on baptism and communion. We take communion every Sunday as an opportunity to center our lives around Jesus. We believe that baptism is our first response to the free gift of salvation that Jesus offers.

7 - We want something FOR you not from you.
We believe that Jesus wants something for you. He wants you to experience a life and purpose that has meaning. We want to help you take those steps into that purpose. When you are a part of this movement you aren’t filling a role on a roster. You are helping us build a city.
8 - We want you to follow Jesus.
9 - The best way to experience the culture of City Church is to Try a Team.
We are not a building. We are a movement of people. People carry our culture. The best way to get a glimpse of who we are is to rub shoulders with our CityBuilders (volunteers). Learn more about our teams HERE.
10 - This is a Movement
We all want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. That could start today. Try a Team. Join a movement.
